How to randomize sort order in dictionary using Linq
I just came across need where I wanted to shuffle my dictionary with random order.
Here is code snippet which uses Linq to randomize order of key/value pair you added.
using System;
using System.Linq;
namespace MyApp
{
public class MyClass
{
public void DemoRandomSort()
{
var dictTest = new Dictionary<int, string>();
for (int i = 0; i < listCount - 1; i++)
dictTest.Add(i, "somevalue " + i.ToString());
Random rand = new Random();
dictTest = dictTest.OrderBy(x => rand.Next())
.ToDictionary(item => item.Key, item => item.Value);
}
}
}
